I document the bureaucratic hurdles I go through, in plain English. It's a collection of everything I wish I knew when I moved to Germany.
I also run a smaller blog where I put solutions to obscure tech problems I ran into.
Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?

Re: Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?
#242Nice to see these sort of posts popping up on HN. I've been enjoying HN the past few weeks - a lot of community related posts and engagement. Honestly I don't have much worth reading on my blog. But I see a lot of posts about the "best way to store knowledge" - org-mode, roam, zettelkasten, markdown etc. My blog isn't worth reading because that's exactly what I use it for. If you're looking for a way to [1] take note…
Interesting. Could you add an RSS feed?

You probably shouldn't read it. It is a mixture of posts about my life and my simulation projects.

#244I am just getting started after many failed attempts but the goal is to have a place where I can do deep writeups on things I am interested in like software and mastery.
The first post is somewhat meta and shows how to build the site in AWS using Terraform

#246Just boring data science stuff. Don't read it!

> I sometimes wish there was a variant of Hacker News that only had blog posts written by individuals I agree I tried to do it here : http://luap.info:4000/links Basically I'm taking all the links published into HN and I'm filtering the domains which are news domains or appear too frequently, but that is still a lot of links, so I'm not calling it a success yet
That's cool! At some point, I myself thought about making a clone of HN that just filters out everything that is not a blog post. However, I couldn't come up with a solid filter criteria. I agree that your method is not quite there yet, still a lot of large domains (airbnb.com, spiegel.de, spectator.co,...), but you started and that is already more than I ever did ;) I would suggest including the HN metadata, such as…
A link is to a blog post if and only if a) the linked-to page contains a feed autodiscovery tag and b) the autodiscovered feed contains an entry for the same page and c) that feed entry is at least half as long as the page (in words).
That test isn't quite right. The false negatives include links to old blog posts, and the false positives include the honourable few sites that provide full-textish feeds of something other than a blog. But it's pretty good if you want to filter away content marketing and read tech blogs.

#249https://commoncog.com/blog/ I write mostly about career moats. I wrote a post about the Metagame that was on HN's front page a few weeks ago. But the context in which that post exists is actually in the context of smart thinking in one's career. My hard rule with the blog is that I should (as much as possible) write only about things I can verify through practice. None of that 'it sounds insightful because it is nove…
This looks fantastic, I'll definitely be reading through this. Already really enjoyed two of your posts.

It is a blog written by a fictional alien who is amazed by our evolution. Due to that, it is trying to help us understand the intrinsic motive of evolution and everything else. It is also talking about its own 'weird' evolutionary path for comparison.
I am trying to give an out-of-the-box view on what I have learned as a frequent reader and amateur thinker on these topics. However, I didn't attempt to write something like this before. It may have a lot of structural errors. Also, I am not a native speaker (which might suit the role-playing though)
It may end up gibberish at the end. But, it is OK. I have realized the beauty of accepting failure recently. https://osaatcioglu.netlify.com/posts/accepting-failure/
